Know the content and how to teach it
Practice
Developing junior technology programs based on past experiences with students of the same age. Referring to learning objectives set by the curriculum. Adapting and supplementing content to enhance engagement and understanding. Explicitly teaching subject specific vocabulary and embedding numeracy skills into the design process. Teaching programs such as Adobe Illustrator and Tinkercad; and operating machinery such as laser cutter and 3D printers.
Examples
2.5 Literacy and numeracy strategies
Apply knowledge and understanding of effective teaching strategies to support students’ literacy and numeracy achievement.
​
In Mandatory Technology, I have been working with students to understand the basics of technical drawing. This includes numeracy skills such as measurement, scale and angles. Students develop an understanding of geometry and perspective.
In terms of literacy, students are encouraged to broaden their vocabulary and apply this to their evaluation.
